Peter -- sorry to hear that. A couple points I wanted to make: * We have a talking point currently listed for the Mobility spin. It makes sense to me for the Marketing team to change that to simply mention inclusion of some software from the MeeGo project in Fedora, without reference to a spin at this time. * Are you interested in using the upcoming FUDCon in Tempe to evangelize for Mobility, Sugar, etc.? I think it'd be a good opportunity since we'll have student attendees from ASU. * Are there specific tasks laid out somewhere that the Board and contributors like myself could point out to someone who wanted to help, like a blocker bug list, wiki page, or something like that? I'd love to bring some more hands in to help, and it's super-helpful if I can point them to a list like that. -- Paul W.
